Possessing a fortune of at least $150,000, John McMillin, aged 86 years, died today in a hovel in the outskirts of Chattanooga. He had for years lived in poverty. When away from his shack he invariably carried a chip market basket, which it has been learned since his death contained cash and papers worth over $100,000. At one time he owned a great deal of real estate, but six years ago his son commit ted suicide, after which the old man converted most of his pro perty into cash. So far as known he left no will and the fortune will go to his only daughter, Mrs. J as. McCluggage, of Rose Hill, Kansas. It is said that the old man and his ' daughter had been estranged for many years. 'I Piedmont A. C.

On HIV in KAPlin arhda nlliin v the parade grounds her horse, a Johnson Would Poll More Votes. Raleigh Evening Times. There is not a sensible man in North Carolina who will not agree with Dr. Dixon that John John son would poll more votes in this state than Mr. Bryan. Practical Jy every man who would vots for the Nebraskan would do the same, thing for Mr. Johnson, and there are hundreds of men who would vote for Johnson that would go fishing if Mr. Bryan were the choice. Dr. Dixon thinks Chandler, lieutenant-governor of New York, could carry that state, and he be lieves Johnson and Chandler would be winners. The democratic party has a good chance of electing a president next fall, and it were folly not to live up to its opportunity.

Near Sylva a man named Joe Dillard was caught on the railroad track in sight of Sis home and kMled. lit seems that Dillard was driving a team of mules and in attempting to cross the tracks the mules balked, the train coming on at the time and killing the owner of the team in plain view of his wife and children. Near Cullowheellenson Pressley was shot aud killed by Will Ben nett during a drunken row. The men quarreled over some trivial matter, when the fuss started. A bystander attempted to interfere and separate the combatants, when Bennett drew his pistol and shot Pressley dead.

Finally when the horse was brought to sub mission she started away and at the same time beoame aware of thn crowd of spectators. But. above all, two offioers rode up and saluted. "Madam," said one of the offi cers, "if you were not the greatest singer in the world you would be empress of the cirous." And as Mme. Sembrich heard these words she trembled and grew far more nervous than she had been when stnurjrling with her horse, for the speaker was no other than the emperor of bermany. Bohemian. A Salem man has made a bet that he could invent a question to which fifty people would all give the same answer. The experiment has been tried, and it works like a charm.
